"So who are the invitations sent to? Do I know them?"
After agreeing to send part of the script, Jiang Yuan asked curiously.
What we are discussing is the casting of Liu Peiqiang, the absolute core character of the movie, which is not unimportant.
It even related to the subsequent film works. Jiang Yuan subconsciously felt that he needed to find an actor with more weight.
"They all should know each other." He Dingding nodded, "I'll send you the list of information."
With that said, He Jing also sent several actor information pictures directly on the chat interface.
Looking at the small frame of the video again, I found that Jiang Yuan looked at him with a thoughtful expression.
Subconsciously, He Jing felt that it was when Jiang Yuan was carefully analyzing the list that he spoke again.
"I almost forgot that you are also an actor."
Jiang Yuan stared at He Jing, also thinking about the compatibility between He Jing and Liu Peiqiang's role.
But because I rarely watch He Jing's works, I lacked some pictures for reference in my mind.
"What's wrong?" He Jing was stunned when he heard this, and then quickly realized the meaning of Jiang Yuan's words.
As a well-known actor, Yan Eryou changed his career as a director. Whether it is acting skills or celebrity status, He Jing obviously has it all.
Jiang Yuan didn't even need to mention it. He Jing had previously wondered whether he would try directing and acting in this new movie.
After all, for the work "The Wandering Earth", after He Jing read all the scripts so far, he already thought that if the script could be better shot and interpreted, it should not be difficult to become a landmark work in the field of domestic science fiction.
It's hard not to be excited about the starring role in such a work.
However, after being excited for a while, He Jing still denied this possibility.
"I guess it's not appropriate."
"On the one hand, the acting path is not that suitable for this role. Of course, there is no problem if I try it. But on the other hand, I still have to work as a director, so it is really difficult to disperse my energy."
"So after thinking about it, I thought it would be better to use other actors to complete this work."
Before Jiang Yuan could continue to speak, He Jing explained the reason why he refused to direct and star in this movie.
"That's right." Jiang Yuan was easily convinced by He Jing and thought it made sense.
"Then let me take a look at the actor information first." Jiang Yuan greeted He Jing and hung up the video call for the time being.
After the video ended, Zhang Qing followed Jiang Yuan and analyzed the actors on the list with Jiang Yuan.
Quickly scanning every piece of information, Jiang Yuan was able to confirm for the time being that, as He Jing said, the invitations were basically to famous actors with relatively high status.
Jiang Yuan has heard of the names of these people, and has even met them at some important parties, but they have not chatted much.
"May I introduce it to you?" Zhang Qing paid attention to Jiang Yuan's expression and volunteered.
Jiang Yuan naturally followed the good example and handed the phone to Zhang Qing, waiting for the other party to introduce him.
"Have you heard of this number one, Wei Qidong?" Zhang Qing asked.
Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and nodded, successfully matching the name with the character in his impression, and concluded, "I've heard of it. It seems that he has won many awards before."
"Yes, Wei Qidong's acting career can be described as rich."
"Wei Qidong made his debut as an actor at a very early age. He started playing supporting roles on the sidelines and would take on any role he could."
"It wasn't until a few years ago that I starred in a movie and entered the audience's attention overnight, and my popularity soared."
"In the same year, with the same work, I also won the first trophy for Best Actor." Zhang Qing said while looking at the information and based on what she learned.
"This experience is quite inspiring." Jiang Yuan couldn't help but comment.
"Yes, it is also because of this that Wei Qidong has always had a good image in recent years, and he is notoriously picky about scripts. Sometimes he would rather reduce his salary than star in some bad movies." Zhang Qing pointed out.
He nodded and continued to share.
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement again.
I have to say that sometimes the actor's image is also very important. If an actor has always appeared in relatively high-quality movies, he can indeed gain some advantages if he has the same strength and status.
At least after listening to Zhang Qing's introduction, Wei Qidong had a character in Jiang Yuan's mind who cherishes feathers.
It is understandable that such people are pursuing their works and want to read the script in advance.
"He Jing also noted here that during the communication, Wei Qidong's attitude has always been very positive and he showed that he is very interested in our movie."
"It seems that I did hear Wei Qidong say in some previous interviews that he wanted to cooperate with you and He Jing." Zhang Qing thought about it and added some impressions in his mind.
Jiang Yuan carefully looked through Wei Qidong's official photos. As an actor who is nearly fifty years old, Wei Qidong is in very good condition.
"He's just a little too handsome." Jiang Yuan couldn't help but muttered.
Mainly because the version he had seen in his mind left such a deep impression that it was hard for Jiang Yuan to imagine what Liu Peiqiang would be like if Wei Qidong's face was used.
If you want to see Wei Qidong's interpretation of the role, you have to wait until Wei Qidong has read the script and decided to audition.
"The 1st has passed, let's go to the next one." Jiang Yuan wrote down the person Wei Qidong and motioned to Zhang Qing to turn the page.
The actor information sheet was changed, and Zhang Qing also started a new round of introductions.
The journey to the filming location was long enough that Jiang Yuan had basically listened to all the actors' introductions, but he still hadn't arrived at the destination.
"He Jing is looking for quite a few people here." Jiang Yuan counted them on his hands and found that He Jing was quite capable.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After Wei Qidong, basically every actor is as strong and talented as the former.
And the list compiled by He Jing is all actors who currently have a strong desire to star in movies.
It is conceivable that He Jing may have contacted more actors before this, and his connections in the industry are visible to the naked eye.
"It is indeed a very powerful lineup. If the news breaks out at this time, it will probably explode on the hot search list."
Because Zhang Qing has been thinking about the promotion of the new album recently, as soon as Zhang Qing's mind wandered, she suddenly turned to the promotion and marketing aspect.
"It's better to say goodbye. You don't have a single horoscope, and the impact will not be good." Jiang Yuan thought for a moment, shook his head and ran away.
"Of course it's impossible to do this." Zhang Qing smiled, then thought about it for a moment, rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers, "But I think this news can be spread within the circle."
Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he seriously began to think about the feasibility of such an operation.
"It seems okay. I have to tell He Jing." Jiang Yuan quickly figured out the context and dialed the video communication with He Jing again.
"Have you finished watching? What are your thoughts?" As soon as the video was connected, He Jing immediately asked impatiently.
"It's a pretty awesome lineup. Sister Zhang Qing just told me that I have a new idea." Jiang Yuan went straight to the topic.
"What?" He Jing asked curiously.
Jiang Yuan simply explained to He Jing his idea of spreading the news that the crew was in contact with these actors.
"I told them this a long time ago." He Jing waved his hand, "These people also have a competitive relationship to some extent, so when I first sent the invitation, I told them that other people were also communicating.
This role."
"When they want to audition after reading the script, they have to compete fairly." He Jing looked like he had a plan.
"It has to be you." Jiang Yuan couldn't help sighing.
"I will send the script to them later." He Jing was very confident and felt that after reading the script, the actors' attitudes would become different.
"I'm looking forward to your good news. I'm getting ready to shoot." Jiang Yuan glanced out the window and could already see the progress of the shooting location, so he hung up the video call with He Jing and prepared to wait for good news.
After Jiang Yuan started the album-related shooting schedule, He Jing also sent some excerpts from the script of "The Wandering Earth", as well as an introduction to the characters and a synopsis of the story, to Wei Qidong and others.
As one of the actors who is the most picky about scripts, Wei Qidong is also the one who has the most time among them.
When I received the script from He Jing, I was drinking tea with my agent, and naturally we started chatting about the script.
"He Jing sent me the script, and it is indeed the starring role." Wei Qidong was somewhat surprised after reading it.
After all, thinking that Jiang Yuan and He Jing were filming the movie together, I subconsciously felt that Jiang Yuan would occupy an absolute position.
"They still pay more attention to their works, such as the recent "Chinatown", and Jiang Yuan is not an absolute one." The agent thought for a while and replied.
"That's true. I heard that many people are reading this book?" Wei Qidong asked curiously.
"Anyway, the news I heard from He Jing is this. It seems that Zheng Hai's team is indeed in contact."
"Are you so optimistic about this movie? It seemed that the controversy was quite big some time ago?" The agent glanced at Wei Qidong.
Among the team, Wei Qidong has always chosen his own works.
After so many years, my vision has never gone wrong.
Even if he appears in some movies that are not so well-received, the characters played by Wei Qidong are rare highlights in the movies.
So the agent is naturally a little curious and wants to know why Wei Qidong came into contact with this work.
"It's very simple. I said before during the interview that I want to work with He Jing and Jiang Yuan." Wei Qidong picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Do you trust them so much?" The agent was stunned, and then nodded to himself, "Indeed, the works they have produced in the past two years are indeed worthy of trust."
"Of course it's not entirely because of trust. If the trust was to this level, I would have agreed directly without even asking about the script."
"But based on my research during this period, the probability that this movie is a bad movie should be quite low."
Wei Qidong stretched out his finger and tapped the four characters "The Wandering Earth" on the screen of his mobile phone.
Seeing the agent's curious expression, Wei Qidong couldn't help but clear his throat, preparing to show what he had discovered during this period.
"First of all, you should be aware of the reputation of Jiang Yuan and He Jing, the golden couple, in the industry in the past two years. Basically, they are all blowing up."
"If it weren't for the fact that they were filming a science fiction movie this time, many people would have started to recommend themselves when they heard the project was approved, not to mention receiving invitations."
"So I chose to start from the root of the problem, which is science fiction movies." When narrating, Wei Qidong also used his script skills extremely well, making the agent listen attentively.
"Their attempt to make science fiction movies has caused such a big controversy for two reasons. One is that science fiction movies are really not popular in China, and bad movies are produced every year."
"The second point is that the previous adaptation of "Fortress" made everyone completely lose their expectations." Wei Qidong said, raising two fingers.
"But I did some serious research and found that the badness of the movie "Fortress" actually has little to do with the original work. On the contrary, the reputation of the novel is actually pretty good."
"In addition, regarding the filming of this science fiction movie, many of the teams He Jing has recruited are even poached from some foreign professional teams. They obviously want to do big things."
"And..." Wei Qidong clapped his fingers and listed many reasons why he was optimistic about this script.
"If it's really as good as you said, I think we need to read the script more closely." The agent analyzed it carefully and came to this conclusion, feeling that the competition might become quite fierce.
"It's true, I won't tell you anymore." Wei Qidong came back to his senses, temporarily put aside his agent, and concentrated on reading the script fragments sent by He Jingfa.
Time passed quietly, and Wei Qidong raised his head with some unfinished thoughts.
"How is it?" The agent noticed Wei Qidong's movements and asked curiously.
"I think I guessed it right. If this could be photographed, it would be incredible."
"Reply the message to He Jing immediately, no, I will call him personally."
Wei Qidong made a decisive decision immediately, took out his mobile phone and dialed He Jing's number, but only heard a busy tone, and suddenly his heart dropped.
On the other side, He Jing was already prepared and did not plan to answer any calls.
Looking at the message pop-ups that kept flashing on the screen of his mobile phone, He Jing couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Jiang Yuan, who was taking photos, also received screenshots and messages from He Jing simultaneously.
Including Wei Qidong, everyone responded to He Jing that they wanted to participate in the show.
In an instant, the anti-selection mode was activated.
